Git App Zip The Folder

Git-it is a desktop (Mac, Windows and Linux) app that teaches you how to use Git and GitHub on the command line.

However, i am willing to transfer it back to Jessica if she wants.

Youll be learning the awesome (and not so scary) command line and GitHub which means when you finish all of the challenges youll have real repositories on your GitHub account and green squares on your contribution chart.

Youll also of course need Git and the first challenge in Git-it helps you get that set up.

We wont use the app itself in the challenges (but it is really useful once you get going in Git), just the Git that it install for you.

In Mac and Linux you can use the app Terminal, which is already on your computer.

Visit the website and download the version for your operating system.

Sublime, Microsoft VS Code and Adobe Brackets are other options.

Once it has downloaded to your default Downloads directory, unzip the folder and run the Git-it executable.

You can drag the icon into your Applications directory if you want, but its not required.

If needed, more detailed installation instructions can be found in this issue.

Follow along with the instructions in each challenge and use the terminal or editor as instructed.

Depending on the challenge you may need to also select the folder you did your work in for Git-it to verify.

The dollar sign identifies the line as one a user would enter into the command line, but you dont actually include it when you type it into terminal.

In this case, youd actually just type some code-stuff --here.

When you actually use the line of code, replace, with your variable.

For instance to make a new folder in terminal the format is, mkdir, so if you wanted to make a folder named octocat, youd type: mkdir octocat.

Its awesomely powerful and allows you to control your computer with text commands.
